reception and carfiage visiting wear.
4 beautiful evening gown was entirely
composed Of PINK T5teE5d ribbon.
TIE open panel skirt, or long tunic
over one OF different fabric, is daily
gaming favor.
A toilet Of black lace, with accessories
Of white MORE antique is very distin-
guished looking.
Navy blue and olive is very popular
color combination.
Folds of silk ribbon, wooden, etc, have
largely replaced linen collars and cuffs.
White light WOOL frocks, trimmed with
ribbons and lsces, are thegfrst choice Of
little girls for Christmas parties.
Black velvet toqdes trimmed with a
single quill feather on the side pointing
forward, are much IN favor with young
ladies'.
Losg wells OF coiored gsuze, twisted
about the crown Of the hat and tied in q
large bow at the side Of the throat, are
very fashionable.
PiGK, blue, snd white balls, where all
the danceTs-lKdies, at least-tress in
the color or the evening. are the fancy of
the fashionable world CT Paris at present.
In morning gowns, as often as not, the
material and color of the sleeves and
bodice are dissimilor, the upper and
lower portion Of the sleeves display the
two stuffs on the dress.
Short visites with full, wide sleeves are
most favored for wraps of crspe or other
mourning materials.
Small crocheted buttons, either black
OF matching the color CT the gown, are
the rule upon cloth costumes,
As 8 substitute for the stud or button
in linen collars and cuffs, very narrow
col0red ribbons are drawn through the
butt01-holes and tied in bow.
The f&v0rite device in q Wrought-iron
candlestick is that of black snake coiIed
around the candle for socket, with gilt
teTing jewel eyes at the bottom where the
appraised head forms the handle.
Pretty pieces OF carved wood furniture,
chsire, afternoon tea tables, corner an
wall cabinets. music racks, and other or
namental and convenient articles and OBJ
jects ara suggested f0r holiday gifts.
A new idea from Vienna is the firemen's
/ belt, made either in leather Or webbing,
with Ghree straps Of leather fastening in
front. L looks trim on slender waist,
and is much worn With the Garibsldi and
Jersey bodiCes.
Ore CT the newest hats is almost like
the -brimmed, three c0rDered nat Of
French cure or parish priest, ana it
takes the name OF "the cure" It's only
trimming is silk cord wound many
times around the crown, and finished
with taSsels
Dog collars are out of fashion. They
are replsced by the high collar CT the
frock, fraise, or when there is q low,
falling collar, by 9 narrow ribbon with
small bow on one side. Even this is not
considered strictly correct.
In gems the f2v0rite is now the ruby,
principally because The mines have been
exhausted and ru5ies are exceedingly
high priced. Black pearls are also be-
coming the rage, but not for beauty, for
10 al amateur mind they haven't hs!f the
charm of the white pearl. The black
pearls ere freaks, and expensive freaks
and faddism must have freaks or die.
